A Christmas story with a twist. A fish. This story is seen through the eyes of a widower living alone and stuck in a middle of the road boring corporate job. John doesn't have much to look forward to but fishing. He counts down the seconds to quitting time so he can make a break for the door and get on the river. He is happy on the river and can find a break from his otherwise gray boring life. The river is where he finds his smile. However, all is not perfect on the river. John has a nemesis and it isn't his boss. It's a fish. A very large brown trout that haunts him and taunts him on the stretch of river he frequents. He nicknames his nemesis Big Splash after the large amount of water he displaces when he rises and leaps out of the water. John has had him on his line at least twice before and each time Big Splash has found a way to avoid John's net. Another battle with Big Splash on his line leads him into a mystery. He stumbles across a family living in an old abandoned cabin in the woods near the river. A single Mother with 4 young children. Acting as good samaritan John anonymously helps the family by repairing and fixing up their run down cabin to make it livable. The young children remind John of his own children when they were young. John plays secret Santa when he runs across the family in town and overhears the children's disappointment of the likely non appearance of Santa this year. His big heart provides them with a Christmas they wouldn't have had otherwise but there is one thing missing. The Christmas giving culminates when John makes a great personal sacrifice and presents the family with one of his greatest accomplishments. Catching Big Splash. His hope for a trophy fish for his mantel turns into a Christmas feast for the young needy family.
